Our History teacher is... I can't begin to say it. He's joked about bestiality, incest and even bashed PW for being "unrealistic". He can be funny, but not much.

Science is equally retarted. Take what happened to me last week.

My electronics teacher promised to give some one in my class 51% for the rest of the year, and always mark him here if by the end of the class he had sorted a bag of resistors from lowest to highest... He gave up after 2 resistors XD (for anyone who doesnt know what a resistor is...) Image There was at lease 1000 resistors in the bag!

My Japanese teacher is a manga otaku. (Yes, it's ok to call yourself an otaku! She's proud of it) When I mentioned to her that there's a Black Jack anime out, she went fangirl on me. She's about my mom's age, so it was really funny to watch.

Yeah, some snobby fans have disdain for the word because of a story about a guy who brought animosity towards the stereotype when he raped someone or something like that. Japan did in fact steer away from the word for a while, but the anti-otaku Americans overblow the story out-of-proportion. They think that they're enlightened fans, but my teacher grew up in Japan and she sees no problem with it.

My Bio teacher explaining Shots

"Its like a weaker or, uncompleted version of the virus. Its like if you had to kill a tiger, you wouldn't want to fight the tiger right away, maybe you'd start with kittens. Put out a bowl of milk then hit it with a hammer. Then when you see the tiger you know what to do, put out a bowl of milk then hit it with a hammer. And thats how shots work." :gant:

She ( :uramidn: ) and the new apprentice ( :garyuu: ), goofus is what she calls the batter that she put on the stove.....

:uramidn:: Okay everypersons hear up. Fer the next tip... yer git the goofus all fired up and turn on--
:garyuu: : *interrupts immediately* Turn.......... on..........?

The rest of the class LOLed as :uramidn: got her face all red.......

So, in National, State and Local Government, we're studying the court systems. Let :adrian: be me, :uramidn: be my friend (also a PW fan), and :gregory: be my teacher.

:gregory: Ok, class, I'm sure you've all seen something like Law and Order, where you have a defense attorney who says "I object"....
:adrian: & :uramidn: : *exchange glances and smile*
:gregory: ...And, they object many times and the judge says "overruled"...
:adrian: *clapping hand over mouth trying very hard not to laugh*
:gregory: *Stops, sees me, and stares for a good 10 seconds*
:adrian: *removes hand from face and tries to keep a straight expression*
:gregory:...then you can't appeal that later on if you didn't object to it in the trial, which is why the attorneys object even though they know it won't be sustained.
:uramidn: *facepalm*
:gregory: (and other students) *go on and on saying the word "objection" many times*
:adrian: *headdesk*

It was a very Gant-like "stare-into-your-soul" kinda stare. o-o

Also.

:javado: -> My English teacher

:javado: *calls on me and asks a question"
:adrian: Uh... *unconsciously does Apollo's finger-on-forehead pose*
:javado: ....Did you just gang-sign me?
:adrian: ?
:javado: What you just did. *imitates me* That was a gang sign, wasn't it?
:adrian: ....*answers question*

I don't even remember what he asked. XD

My French teacher referred to us all as 'mingebags' last year... she meant whingebags cause we were complaining XD She didn't even realise the mistake, until we all had a good rofl about it.


This is the same teacher who said "Calm down! It's just a tractor outside!" when my mobile went off in the lesson. We were in the middle of a building and to be honest, Even if we weren't I have no idea where said tractor might be driving and why. Worked in my favour though ^~ x

I remember one from my old art teacher when she would complain about us not finishing our work (being totally serious may I add):

"Do you think that the art fairy is going to fly out of the hole in the ceiling and do your work for you? Grow up. Santa Claus is dead!"

Oh how I missus her. D:

My school isn't funny. At all. But since we're all a bunch of immature morons, I have a few stories.

This was in my math class. To study, we would play a game where we all had strips of papers with proplems on them. We had to solve them, then trade them off.

Student Teacher: *Is passing out papers* Okay, class. We're going to play the strip game.

Class: *akward pause* *giggles*

Teacher: Get your mind out of the gutter!

Class: *burst out laughing.*

Me: *to myself* But without the gutter, my mind would be homeless...

_ _ _

Yeah. immature morons. Oh, and another time at my keyboarding class. Some kids were misbehaving.

Teacher: Shut up!

Kids: You shut up!

Teacher: You can't make me shut up I'm not your--

Class: *akward silence*

Teacher: Parent.

Class: *akward silence, go back to work.*

It was quiet for the next ten minutes.

_ _ _

And another, in drama...we were watching a movie.

(Universal stodies thingy or whatever shows up)

Girl Putting in movie: Watch the world blow up.

Class: *snicker*

Person next to me: Why do only our homes and children burn!?!?

Class: *laugh*

Teacher: SHUSH!

Class: *shush*

I had another, but I forget it. ><

Oh lawdy, do we have some awesome teachers at my school. Especially math. Last year, I had this awesome otaku teacher. Anyway, I don't have him this year, but my math class is right across the hall from his room. This happened last week (let :phoenix: be me, :javado: be the old math teacher, and :udgy: be my current math teacher).

:udgy: "OK!!! SO! Are we all understanding that to find the slope of the line..."

:javado: *literally bursts into room* " Amy, I have AMAZING NEWS!!!"

:phoenix: "w...what?"

:javado: "I was just reading the newest chapter of Naruto, and guess what??!? The fight we've all been waiting for has arrived!!! Sasuke and Itachi!!!! And *insert even more naruto related stuff here*!!!"

:udgy: "Um.. what is going on? What language is this?"

:javado: *continues babbling excitedly*

:phoenix: *joins his rant*

:udgy: "WHAT IS HAPPENING??!?"

:javado: "Oh, nothing ^_^ We're just talking about ninjas. Oh, by the way... *looks at entire, utterly confused class* I got this new hair mousse that turned my hair into some kind of shell. Look, it doesn't move!!!"


It was absolutely hysterical to see the looks of my teacher and the rest of the class. Not to mention my math teacher acting like an excited 5 year old :edgy:

Here's one in French that was hysterical. My french teacher rocks! And yes, she is from French and like 50 something, but she's one of the best teachers EVER!

Teacher: *Trying to upload the game on the computer* Ok, class, we will play Memory Match. *Points to me*

Me: Yes?

Teacher: You first.

Me: *Goes up to the board which had a projected version of it and I point to a card*

Teacher: *Clicks on card with a mouse and a guy with a red nose appears.* (It was injuries)

Then, the game suddenly froze and my teacher banged the mouse for like five minutes. Then, we restarted again and she picked another girl.

Girl: *Points to a card*

Teacher: *Clicks on card and the same guy appeared*

Teacher: OH NO, HE'S BACK!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Class: *Laughing our heads off*

Proper French scream, I promise you!

A while ago, my english teacher was talking about Fahrenheit 451. There was a scene where someone just burst out crying after hearing a poem she didn't understand and her friends were trying to calm her down by saying "It's ok. It's alright..." (and my name is Victoria for all of you who don't know)

Teacher: See, if you were crying, everything wouldn't be alright, would it? That's why your crying.

Me: (I was really tired, so I had my head in my arms on the desk, but I wasn't asleep. My head was turned to my side so that I could see and listen to my teacher)

Teacher: So, anyways, saying "It's ok" doesn't work, now does it?

::approaches my desk::

It's ok, Victoria, it's ok, everything is going to be alright... Don't worry... (he pats me on the back and stares into my face:

Me: ::absolutely terrified :beef: ::

I wasn't in this class, but last year one of our resident insane math teachers actually picked up a students desk and put it outside of the classroom, student still in said desk. All for not having his homework... This teacher also got angry at one student and threw his bookbag out the window, in the rain. The student had to go all the way around the building to get to the bookbag, and then tried to get back in but the door was locked.

In Latin class two years ago we were discussing the male/female thing with the word magistra, and someone said they thought the word didn't have a sex, that it applied to both or something.

My Latin teacher: "US MAGISTRAS HAVE FIIINE SEX, THANK YOU!"

And if you didn't say salwe or whatever (that was my only year) when she stepped into class, she went back outside, closed the door, and walked back in. And repeated this. Until you did it correctly.

In science class in middle school a few years ago my science teacher was singing to himself about bicycles. :payne:

Yeah, he was a serial murderer. His name was Tsutomu Miyazaki.

However, "otaku" has always had negative connotations, in the reference to "fans." It was never a "good" term even before Tsutomu. It has always carried the stigma of being an obsessive fan that spends most of their time alone, at home, or locked in their room, and secondly of only going to places like Akihabara and Comiket. "Otaku" as a fan terminology has never really been endearing--even when other Japanese people call each other Otaku between friends, it's a joke insult. Even after the surge of Densha Otoko, Otaku still carries a huge stigma. If I had to draw some sort of comparison, it'd be how the West views, say, comic book fans or Trekkies.

However, it is worth mention that the stigma doesn't necessarily apply to people who read manga--if you're a salary man and you've got a copy of Jump, that's fine. If you're a 25 year old who spends all day in doors watching anime and surfing 2ch, that's not--that's an "Otaku."

Western fans who use the term "Otaku" as one of endearment are morons because they seem to believe they can change the meaning of the word by using it a lot and then always saying "but in a good way." The idea is that Western have "loaned" the word for their own use, making it into a term of endearment between themselves, but it doesn't work that way because of how egregious American fans tend to be--it's more of a cultural thing, really; but consider. If you go to an anime convention in a relatively big area (in the west) and notice the strange looks you get by the people living in the city while randomly screaming KAWAII or in some horrible cosplay outfit--they're not looking at you in endearing awe or respect.

My professors have said a LOT of crazy stuff within the past year or so. The best one was probably one of my humanities professors last year, though..."Prostitutes are capitalists because they own their means of production!"
"I plan on living forever. So far, so good."
